HI I need advice on installing an after market stereo. I have a corolla ascent 2001 with a dash like this

6455bjk_20.jpeg

I have managed to remove the whole shroud part and remove the old stereo from the shroud. However the new head unit (pioneer) doesnt fit into the shroud part, I have seen a few pics of the same dash with after market head units and it appears they fit and the dash has not been modified at all.

I have tried for about 4 hours now to find something on the net about this but every damn tutorial/info is on toyota corollas which dont have this bubble/shroud dash setup. I think its mostly american versions.

I have the pioneer head unit as well as an extra tray type thing which should sit ontop or beneath the new unit to fill the gap, but the width of the shroud is too small.

I realised i may be able to fit the new head unit in the space where the little sunglasses/glove box is just in front of the gear stick. Does anyone know how to get that part out? do i have to dismantle the entire front dash?

      Corolla 3k modified engine + 5 speed box For SALE

      Hi all, I have owned this engine for approx 30 years, it has not run in the last 15 years. needs rebuild, at the least new rings. Was last informed that the Cam was not aligned correctly after the fitting of a new timing chain and head Was a original 1300 stock ke20 for my first 7 years before becoming tired and worn-out. I was so happy with the engine that i spent at least 2 thou on a full rebuild including oversized rebore, very lumpy billit cam, hi comp ported head double springs,fully balanced, lightend flywheel.ect ect Due to budget I could only afford a 32 Webber down draught carby (probably needs new carby kit), stock distributer and 5 speed manual Would very much like to see it go to a new home so it can come back to life and rev hard again. Please ask any questions you may have.

      Canning Prado or 200

      Hi All Just joined - trying to decide between a Prado or 200 for the CSR next year. l'll be a single in the car in a group of 5 vehicles. Not owing. I appreciate whatever I get will need some mods. And I know I am on the Prado Club forum but I am hoping for some unbiased opinion! The Prado needs to carry less fuel which is a big advantage but what I am more concerned about is whether it is rugged enough. Any thoughts and especially experience, much appreciated! Regards to all. Chris

      2002 Door Handle Issue

      Unusual problem. Driver's side external door handle would not function with window in fully closed position. Would function with window open around 12mm. Removed door trim - visual inspection showed plastic clip at top of one of the actuating rods had become unclipped and was being hit by the metal rail on the bottom of the window glass when the window neared fully closed. Easiest solution was to apply Loctite Extreme Glue to clip and re-attach it to the rod. Fingers crossed it stays attached.

      2ZR Turbo

      How did this project finish up mate , any issues creep up? Im thinking of the same upgrades, but, I have a question around the registration. Here in NSW you cant turbo without it being offered as an original option. Did ypu get an engineer sigh off?

      Hi everyone, new member here. We have two Toyotas, a 2016 Corolla 2ZR-FE and a 2016 Yaris NCP130R. My dad was a huge Holden fan...I've broken that tradition and have become a huge Toyota fan myself! I do a lot of my own maintenance and repairs on our Toyotas where possible so look forward to sharing knowledge and learning even more from the community. Cheers.
